Analysis of trading charts from April 8

During the intensive downward movement, the EURUSD currency pair has almost reached the support level of 1.0800, where the medium-term trend slowed down earlier. Recovery of dollar positions relative to the recent correction amounted to 91%. Traders are already on the verge of a trend prolongation.

During the downward movement, the GBPUSD currency pair reached the psychological level of 1.3000, which previously served as support. This step indicates a high interest of traders in short positions, which in the future will accelerate the downward course.

On the trading chart of the daily period, there is a complete recovery of dollar positions relative to the corrective move.

Economic calendar for April 11

The macroeconomic calendar is usually empty on Mondays, but not this time. During the European session, data on industrial production in the UK was published. The February data showed a decrease from 3.0% to 1.6%. Consequently, the situation will only worsen as the results of the March data suggest that a decline in industrial production will be recorded.

Current indicators put pressure on the British currency.
